The development of conflict in the Middle East continues to experience complex dynamics and often intersects with global interests. In Syria, the civil war that started in 2011 has not yet reached an end. Although the Bashar al-Assad regime succeeded in reclaiming many areas, rebel groups and ISIS are still active in several areas. For example, the Idlib area remains the scene of intense fighting between Assad’s forces and opposition groups and al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Yemen is also very concerning. Since 2015, Yemen has been caught in conflict between the internationally recognized government and Houthi rebels. The Saudi Arabian-led military intervention has worsened the situation, causing thousands of lives to be lost, while millions of people face acute hunger. UN-led negotiation efforts have encountered obstacles, so humanitarian conditions continue to worsen. In Iraq, divisions between Sunni and Shiite groups remain a major challenge. Even though ISIS has lost much territory, the threat of this extremist group still exists. Military operations and terrorist attacks continue to occur, indicating that stability in Iraq has not yet been fully realized. In Israel and Palestine, tensions remain high with sporadic conflict between the two sides. Granting Israel permission to expand settlements in the West Bank often triggers demonstrations and clashes. Apart from that, rocket launches from Gaza also continue, adding to tensions in the region. Over the past year, the issue of normalizing relations between Israel and Arab countries has become increasingly popular, as evidenced by the signing of normalization agreements with the UAE and Bahrain. However, its positive impact on long-term peace in the region is still questionable. Iran remains involved in various regional conflicts, providing support to its proxy militias operating in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. The continued enforcement of sanctions due to Iran’s nuclear program is further exacerbating tensions, triggering the potential for military conflict. As a result of all these dynamics, international attention is increasing, especially from large countries such as the US and Russia. Both countries are seeking to exploit the situation for their proxies’ interests, causing additional complexity for a peaceful resolution. Despite all these falls, the movement to enforce peace through dialogue and diplomacy continues. International organizations and NGOs are working to help reconcile and rebuild areas damaged by conflict. Cross-cultural education and understanding efforts were also initiated to build awareness of the importance of interfaith tolerance and harmony. The result of all these developments is a picture showing that conflict in the Middle East is not a simple phenomenon. It involves history, politics, social and economics which are interconnected. Wise handling and a holistic approach are needed so that sustainable solutions can be found.
